Ralph Rufener was one of my father's older brothers. My dad, Wilmer Wesley and his twin brother Elmer were the (babies) or last children born in this particular Rufener family. There were 11 children (the oldest, Pearl, died when she was two years old). Leaving the total that lived at 10. However, my grandfather had three children prior, ones name was Minnie, ones name was William (I think), the other I don't recall if I ever knew. Do you have any history you can share with me?

I am searching for the family of a soldier who was killed in the Korea War. His remains were never recovered. Our government has no family contact at this time for this soldier<br><br>Soldier: JOHN FRANKLIN RUFENER<br>Born:1931<br>Date of loss: July 20, 1950 POW<br>Home of Record: Los Angeles, Calif<br><br>When the Korean War ended the enemy never returned or accounted for over 8,000 of our servicemen. They died in their hands. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time DNA has been perfected and also they are recovering remains in North Korea. Our government is obligated to return those remains to the proper family. DNA samples have been obtained from most of the families of these missing soldiers. For various reasons some families have not been located. <br><br>When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the family for proper burial. I am just an old (79years) Combat Veteran out of the Korean War and thankful that I did return. I consider this a very noble cause and I hope that you can help in some way to find this family.

Hi Peg,<br><br>As you can see from my post, I was only giving information on Lena May (Rufener) because I had gotten her death certificate. A lot of the Ruffner family married into the Murray family, but I don't have any knowledge of any men who spell it Rufener. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.<br><br>Carole King Murray2003-07-18 19:31:21Zirishmurrhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.rufener/15.1.1/mb.ashxRe: Lena May (Rufener) Murray; 1897 - 1919; Cuyahoga County, OHhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.rufener/15.1/mb.ashx
Lena May; I do not know how to contact you at your email address. I am trying to find males that spell the surname Rufener. Long time ago we had Ruefners, Rufners, Ruffners and Roofners. Now that the DNA testing program for genealogy is available I am searching for males and males only who would be willing to do the test. I t is very simple and if I can get enough males from families with each of the spellings we might get it for as little as $100. Sounds like a lot, but maybe we could get contributers to the cause. Would like your opinion and/or suggestions.

I received a death certificate for a Lena Murray, only to find that she is not one of the Murrays I am researching, but I thought I would pass the information along anyway, in case someone can use it:<br><br>Lena May Murray<br>Born April 30, 1897<br>Age 21 years, 10 months and 15 dys<br>Occupation: housewife<br>Birthplace: Russell, Geauga County, Ohio<br>Father: John Rufener, born in Switzerland<br>Mother: Anna Kanuff, born in Switzerland<br>Informant: A.

I don't know if you have this allready, but I recently found that Henrich Zimmerman changed his name from that, to Henry Carpenter. We arn't sure when, but all of Salome's and his children are Carpenters. It might have happened before or after they came to America, but both were from Switzerland. Before Henrich and Salome are her parents, Peter? Rufener de Fontenoy, who married Anna Krebs. Peters? mother was Marie Stucki, and his father was Hans Rufener. We don't know much about Peter, but I do have record of him being a Marquise/count, of fontenoy, haven't been able to dig anymore than that, but I've been working on it. I hope this helps you. I also saw a variation for Ruffarer, haven't searched any on it though. <br><br>Rachael <br>Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, and I'll try and help you out.2003-05-09 01:03:20Zmelodicwhispshttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.rufener/6.1/mb.ashxRe: simon rufenerhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.rufener/11.1/mb.ashx
